A Review on Household Poisoning and its Management
Abstract
Background: Hazardous materials have become a popular home item in many developing countries over the last few decades. It has become a huge global health problem due to their simple availability, marketing, accessibility, and lack of knowledge. According to current figures, unintentional and domestic poisoning is the 13th biggest cause of mortality in India in an urban setting in India; Patil et al. (2014) identified home items to be the most common poisoning agents.
Data sources Study selection: This is a review paper. All the content in this article is taken from several reviews and guidelines published by WHO, HSRA etc.
Conclusion: To lower the prevalence of poisoning in urban settings, it is crucial to educate and raise awareness among the general public about chemical poisoning from home chemicals. Early diagnosis of suspected poisoning symptoms, implementing effective preventive measures and providing fast, focused treatment will help you win the war against poisoning in India.
